Tessera takes its name from the individual tiles that make up a mosaic. The sari is a deconstructed interpretation of Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, bringing together details from the painting and reimagining them across the fabric. 

Venus’s flowing auburn hair forms the basis of one border, arranged into a trellis of eclectic full moons. The second border follows the same trellis structure, but replaces the moons with portraits of the six women who inspired the collection — Venus, Helen of Troy, Anne Boleyn, Catherine de’ Medici, Elizabeth I, and Mary, Queen of Scots. 

At the base of the pallu, we have a sketched version of the Birth of Venus, which sits atop an elaborate cage-work of eclectic moons. Each element is designed as a separate fragment, brought together to create a tapestry that we pass onto you, to remember us, and the woman that history has wronged.
